I have been doing some test scans on my PC before moving Jellyfin to another PC as a NAS. I have managed to get mostly everything I want worked out from here but PDFS are giving me a snag.
1. Is there a way to automatically pull the first page of the PDF to use it as the cover in the library? I have the bookshelf plugin for comics but I dont see one for PDFs.
2. Sometimes when I go into a folder Ill have 1 PDF and 6 sub folders in there on my drive. JF will only see the PDF, then move on and not show the sub folders. I have gotten around this by removing the PDF from the directory and then rescanning it. Is there a reason as to why its doing this? Is there a better work around for it that I am not aware of? Im thinking I just have to make a separate subfolder for PDFs only.
3. When I pull up PDFs to view them via the web browser, I can only see the top half or upper left quadrant of the page. I have yet to find any controls to scroll from side to side or up and down to view anything else, nor any sort of zoom/fit to page feature. Are there controls that I am missing? I can use the arrow keys to turn the page or swipe on my phone but Im missing some key story elements there.
Thank you in advance.
